I had an issue where USPS was claiming packages were delivered to meet their prime contractual agreement then not actually delivering it until 1-2 days later. (So prime 2 day was taking 3-4 but marking it as delivered to my box on day 2 every time). I filed a complaint to USPS, and a USPS employee actually called and admitted that they were probably doing that to make their stats look better. I feel like any other organization admitting to contractual fraud like that would actually face consequences, but truthfully I don't think anyone holds USPS to a high bar.
Contacted Amazon and they claimed they prioritized UPS for my address. Seemed to work -- packages come via UPS almost exclusively now. Pretty good resolution in my book.

The problem for Amazon now is if I need an item ASAP, I really can't trust their next day/2 day shipping so I will just end up going to a local store and buying it.
- dev247 10y agoUSPS is most definitely marking things delivered to meet agreements, while delivering whenever they can. Most all of my Amazon purchases get delivered by USPS and ALL of them are delivered 1-3 days after I am notified of delivery. Originally I thought it was due to USPS delivering at 8PM on my route (I live in an Apt), but a few months back they switched so packages are delivered mid day. Still getting packages days after delivery notifications.
